Trusted Surface Dressing Contractors for The North East

We are a specialist surface dressing contractor covering The North East. We carry out both small and large commercial surface dressing projects for clients in this area.

Surface dressing is often referred to as ‘Tar & Chip’ and involves two main steps.

The even spray application of an emulsion bituminous binder through a purpose built spray tanker onto the existing road surface
This is followed immediately by the even application of aggregate chippings to ‘dress’ the binder.

Our team has had many years experience in the surface dressing industry. We offer our clients free site surveys and quotes for on all surfacing projects.

When to Surface Dress

It’s best to perform surface dressing before the road surface deteriorates to the stage at which expensive major patching and/or reconstruction is required. There is also a gauge known as ‘surface skidding levels’ that needs to stay above the nationally accepted intervention level for the class of road in question. Please speak to a member of a team if you wish to get your road tested for this.

Surface dressing offers many advantages:

Seals the road surface against ingress of water which is known to be one of the major causes of asphalt pavement deterioration.
Arrests the deterioration of the road surface and underlying road pavement structure.
Restores the necessary level of skid resistance to the road surface with the resultant benefits of reduction in skid related traffic accidents.
Timely intervention will enable worn out road surfaces to last longer thereby increasing the time to when structural maintenance is required.
Can help to reduce spray caused by vehicles travelling on wet road surfaces.
Maximises the cost effectiveness of limited highway maintenance funds.

Life Expectancy:

Proper attention to design and execution has provided surface dressing lifetimes well in excess of 10 years, even on very heavily trafficked sites.

"Great service and an excellent job. Have used them before and will again"

"Joe and his team have done loads of work for us over the last few years. Surface dressing a business car park, then a farmyard and track and most recently laying new tarmac at a private residence. All first class jobs that have stood the test of time carried out professionally at fair prices with great communication throughout. Highly recommended."

"Joe and his team tar and chipped our farmyard and driveway 6 months ago. Stood all the harvest traffic and still looks like new. Can’t praise them enough for their professionalism and attention to detail. Thanks Joe"
